There's a pretty extensive dash cam thread in DD. Might want to look at that.

G1W, it does fine in the day and poorly at night. Software is lacking, but 95% of the time it's fine. Overheats in the summer easily(no AC in the car).
Once I bought the cam, crazy stuff stopped happening (this is good)

What's the downside to just buying a mount and using your phone? Assuming you neither make nor take calls while driving, which all of us agree is really dumb and risky and would never ever do.

I'd rather not fiddle with setting up my phone every time I get in the car. A properly installed dashcam will come on when the car is started - all I'd have to do is hop in, start up, and drive normally.

Pre dash cam: Inattentive driver hitting stopped traffic at ~45, didn't touch the brakes. F350 dump truck being chased by 3 cops cars at ~75mph. The dump truck somehow had a respectable lead Car fire on the shoulder Cross traffic running reds a good minute after a light change Bumper clippings by the inattentive locals etc. Post dash cam: Occasional weird car, usual jerks in traffic (but nothing on fire)

 Some of those Powerstroke's have an amazing amount of power before the oil cooler plugs up or the head gaskets blow.

I still need a dashcam for my little work appointment car, which is threatened daily by the great unwashed. I need simpler=better results to happen, and one that shoots backwards also. Just yesterday was almost rear ended by a moron in a jeep who ended up in the median. Fortunately he has reasonable maneuver skills and there was a place to go at the time.

I'm putting two in the Wifey's car, since she gets to drive on the Baldimurr Deathway (tm) every day and has had people try to swap paint more than a few times.

Resurrecting this thread because I am now in the market. (Already looked at the thread referenced above on DD and see no recent updates.)
Anyone care to suggest a dash cam that is:
Can these be had for around $100? Should I look for one with a rear facing camera as well?
